About Us
Supporting Families Through Every Stage of Life
Living Family Chiropractic was founded in 2012 by Dr Dean Carter with a vision to create a holistic wellness practice that supports and empowers families in the Franklin community. Since then, Dr Dean has built a highly experienced team of practitioners who have helped thousands of families improve their health, resilience, and overall wellbeing.
Our goal is simple: to educate, empower, and partner with families, providing exceptional chiropractic care that supports long-term health and a lifetime of wellness. We go beyond simply managing symptoms or pain - our care is centred on improving nervous system function, supporting optimal health, and helping every member of the family thrive.
Our Philosophy
Health Is About the Whole Person
At Living Family Chiropractic, we believe true wellness happens when the whole family thrives. Chiropractic care isn’t just for moments of discomfort - it’s an essential part of maintaining a healthy, adaptable, and resilient body.
Our chiropractors deeply respect the body’s innate intelligence- its natural ability to heal, adapt, and maintain balance when functioning optimally. Instead of masking symptoms with medication, we focus on reducing interference in the nervous system. This restores communication between the brain and body, helping the body function at its best.
We empower every member of our community to make choices that nurture their body, mind, and nervous system for life. Everyone deserves the freedom to determine their own path to health and wellbeing.
From newborns to grandparents, we take the time to listen, identify the root causes of health challenges, and support long-term wellness - not just temporary relief. Our goal is simple: to help families grow stronger, healthier, and more resilient together.
